Intel Releases Moblin V2 for (OS for Netbooks/Nettop)

Intel just announced the release of Moblin V2, an open-source linux-based operating system optimized for Atom-based computers. According to Intel, improvements include faster boot time (<10sec), smaller memory footprint, longer battery life and a new user interface with a homepage called M-zone, for “My” zone (above).

The user interface has been designed from the ground up and social networking features: status updates are present directly in M-zone. M-zone is customizable for OEMs, so expect to see more Moblin computers, especially from wireless carriers.

We have posted a video of the user interface in the full post. For more information, head to moblinzone.com or moblin.org.
